See: 2001 or so unless you had upgraded to a new gblic there wasn't a need to reboot Linux machines. Most of the times it was enough to log in/out of your X. And that was it. And that approach was, AFAICS, what John Morris probably was referring to.
From the other threads on this topic, this was not entirely true. And now, there are many more moving parts so the chance of running into a problem are higher. If you update libraries, you have restart all the services that use them. And your point about logging out of X defeats most of the purpose of doing a live update anyway. Most people want to do it to avoid closing their open applications. And updating something like LibreOffice or Firefox while it's running is just asking for trouble.
